After countless rumours, leaked screenshots, and what not, Google has officially unveiled Android 2.3, dubbed Gingerbread, today. Accompanying the release of this new Android version is the Nexus S, a Samsung-made successor to HTC's Nexus One, which delivers the pure Google experience - unlocked, without additional crap.

I'll take that to mean there were other considerations as well. I don't disagree when it comes to UIs, let alone spending money on UIs, which is a good part of the reason why I avoid iOS and Android-based devices but I can't say animations rank that high in my priorities. Animations are usually the first thing I disable on my desktop.
